Interactive Science Teaching with PhET

Phet is an interactive simulation project created by the University of Colorado in 2002 to improve how science is taught and learned. It provides free, research-based science and math simulations that emphasize real-life phenomena and make expert models accessible to students. Research shows Phet simulations can improve conceptual learning over traditional methods by encouraging inquiry, interactivity, and multiple representations through tools like sliders and measurements.

PHET

SIMULATION
IN
TEACHING
SCIENCE
What is Phet?
• An interactive
simulation, project at
the University of
Colorado
• Founded in 2002 for
the vision to improve
the way science taught
and learned.
•What is Phet?
•An interactive computer
simulations for teaching and
learning physics, chemistry, math
and other sciences.
• What is Phet?
• they emphasize the connection between real
life phenomena and the underlying science,
and make the visual and conceptual models of
expert scientist accessible to students.
•What is Phet?
•Phet provides fun, free, interactive,
research-based science and
mathematics simulations.
•This simulation ensure educational
effectiveness
• Why Teach with Phet?
• Phet simulations are based on research into
how students learn in general, student
understanding of specific concept.
• Research shows that effective use of Phet
simulations can lead to improved conceptual
learning over traditional lectures,
demonstrations and labs.
• Phet simulations re developed using the
following design principles:
• Encourage scientific inquiry
• Provide interactivity
• Make the visible invisible
• Show visual mental models
• Include multiple representations (object, motion, graph)
•Several tools in the simulations
provide an interactive
experience:
• Click and drag
• Use sliders to increase or decrease
parameters
• Making measurement in your experiment
EXAMPLES
“ Technology will not
replace great teachers but
technology in the hands of
great teachers can be
transformational.”
